Who hid My Corpse! - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Seventy-nine, I want to make a final deal with you.

“What’s going on?!”

Chamos hurried back to the headquarters of the Skeleton Corps, his face exceptionally grim, and his body covered in blood.

“Two gear trains collided in the Fourth District, why has no one gone to rescue yet?”

Chamos yelled at the few Skeleton Knights remaining at the headquarters, “Are you just watching?”

The remaining Skeleton Knights looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

“A gear train collision? When did that happen?”

“We didn’t receive any notification.”

The anger on Chamos’s face immediately turned to astonishment.

Half an hour ago, he had witnessed two gear trains collide and burn on the tracks. Shocked, he immediately took three members of the Tenth Squad to rescue, trying to minimize casualties before the arrival of the major forces of the Skeletons.

However, the major forces never came.

With just the three of them, they could hardly save anyone and could only watch helplessly as the two trains burned in the flames, then were suppressed by brighter fireworks under the night sky.

“You didn’t know?!” His tone was full of irrepressible anger, “How could you not know? What about the observatory? What about the station attendants?”

The Skeleton Knights left in charge exchanged glances again.

“We don’t know, we didn’t get any reports.”

At this moment, a deep, indescribable fear rose in Chamos’s heart.

But before he could say anything, a rush of intense footsteps was heard. He turned around and saw the captain of the Ninth Squad rushing over.

“What are you doing?!” Upon entering, the captain of the Ninth Squad also roared at the headquarters’ knights like Chamos had, “There’s been a severe stampede in the Second District, why hasn’t any reinforcement arrived?”

At this, Chamos also joined the group exchanging puzzled looks.

“Chamos? What are you doing here?!” The Ninth Squad captain quickly approached him, “Come on, take your men, follow me to the Fourth District, damn, where have everyone gone tonight?”

“No, Rein…” Chamos pulled away from the Ninth Squad captain’s hand and then pointed outside the door, “I think, it’s too late now.”

Rein instinctively turned his head and saw the captain of the Fourth Squad also frowning as he walked in.

Five minutes later, the three squad captains finally figured out the current situation.

Not just one place, not just two places… disasters were happening everywhere in Lyra city.

The collision of two gear trains in the Fourth District, the stampede accident in the Second District, and the explosion in a prosthetics store in the Third District, where two shops caught fire.

Accidents that would not have occurred even once in previous years had already occurred three times tonight.

And there might be more than just these three.

Because these three were only what the squad captains had personally witnessed.

What about those they hadn’t seen?

Why, for such major events, the headquarters of the Skeleton Knights hadn’t received any notifications?

The observatories, the gear train staff, seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

Even the entirety of the Skeleton Knights’ headquarters was barely manned tonight, with most positions empty.

“Damn it, what the hell is going on?!” Rein grabbed one of the Skeleton Knights by the collar, his look fierce as if he was about to devour him, “Where are the others?!”

“I don’t know.” The Skeleton Knight answered tremulously, “I only know that some were redeployed to be in charge of defense for different district towers, but that’s just some of them, and others…”

He looked around at the empty positions and said with a bitter smile.

“They just didn’t show up.”

“Why?!”

The Skeleton Knight pursed his lips, didn’t speak, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Those Skeleton Knights had also joined into tonight’s “festivities.”

This made Rein’s face grow even darker; he was almost unable to hold back from punching the other, but Chamos stopped him.

“Taking your anger out on him is pointless,” Chamos said. “After all, he’s one of the ones who stayed here, isn’t he?”

Rein glanced at Chamos, then lowered his raised hand and paced back and forth in great agitation, “What the hell is going on?!”

Chamos pursed his lips tightly.

What was going on?

Wasn’t it obvious?

Lyra’s order… had collapsed.

Of course, it wasn’t just the order that had collapsed, but also countless products closely associated with the Lyra God, like the gear trains and the prosthetics stores.

They went out of control suddenly, triggering disasters, swallowing lives.

It was as if… it was done on purpose.

Yes, it was almost like Lyra was murdering people.

Chamos felt slightly dazed.

Was this the price for deicide?

…And yet, this was not as severe as the collapse of the order.

Right now, disasters of various scales were occurring throughout Lyra City.

But the problem was, aside from the involved parties and people nearby, no one knew of these disasters.

The officials of the Skeleton Knights who should have provided relief didn’t know, nor did the residents.

With the observatory out of action, the gear trains halted, coupled with the revelry that almost overturned the night, it was very likely that while one street was experiencing a stampede, fire, and death, people on another street were still carousing, or perhaps trains filled with passengers continued to depart one after another even while the wreckage of the previous two trains hadn’t been cleared.
